Art Clubs

The students participate in weekly Art classes and their teacher will adapt the lessons depending on the ages of the students. The lessons improve the student’s creativity and extend their passion for art with lessons at school as well as cultural visits out of the classroom. The students will have the opportunity to create works of art which are in 2D or 3D, working with a variety of materials and techniques. There is an opportunity for the students to display their work at the end of each term. The equipment is provided by the school.

MUN Club

Music Recording & Clip Creation

The singing club has always been very popular with the students. The music teacher runs the after school club which allows the students to perfection their singing techniques as well as learning new skills in order to perform to the best of their ability. The students will also create videos of themselves singing and put their computer skills to good use in order to create the videos. This is an important club and always very popular as it helps to improve a student’s self confidence whilst allowing them to have fun and enjoy the time with their friends as well.

Board Games

The students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of board games during the afternoon. The variety of games allow the students to spend time together, developing their social skills as well as their language skills.

History Club

Trail Running

Trail running has been a popular choice at La Garenne and students have enjoyed the opportunity of running in the mountains and learning new skills. The students will receive all the required equipment from the school which they keep once the club has finished. Should there be the possibility of participating in competitions, and if they wish to do so, they may be entered.

Football

The Football Academy operates in partnership with CS Ollon, to provide our students with professional instruction in football. Alongside students from the local community, they train twice a week and participate in 20 to 30 football matches each season. They might also have an additional physical session during the week if other sporting activities are not scheduled. Students will play matches against other swiss clubs and local schools, which is a wonderful opportunity to mix with other students as they face the challenges of physical training and football matches. La Garenne School staff members supervise and are on hand to ensure each student receives appropriate support to ensure their progress and welfare.

Basketball Club

The students will be able to join the school’s basketball team and participate in the weekly training sessions as well as the inter-school competitions throughout the year. The team will be a mixed team allowing boys and girls to join and train together. The skills learnt during training such as determination and working hard towards an end goal are also developed on and off the court as these skills are also expected within the classroom.

Swimming

The swimming club is run by two of the sports teachers who will work with the students in order to help them learn the skills required to swim correctly as well as training students who wish to participate in swimming competitions. The lessons are held during the week and a personal record of each student’s
achievements is recorded throughout the year. The students will also be able to achieve certain goals and mileposts and be awarded certificates during the year.

Badminton

The students who would like to learn how to play badminton or those who wish to perfection their skills, will be able to do so once a week during the badminton club. During the year, the teacher will try to organise competitions in school as well as with other schools in the region.
